I have to agree with goldie here.
Crash
Cerrano
Dugan
honorable mention: Nuke Laloosh
Harry Doyle and Terrance Mann are right up there as well if we are talking non-player characters. And while not a movie, Jim Brockmire is one of my favorite characters of all time of any genre.

John C. Reilly was perfectly cast as a schlubby 90s catcher in the otherwise boring For Love of the Game. A pitch perfect Mike Lavalliere-type.
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
This one is easy. Crash Davis.
Moonlight Graham

I feel like not enough love is given to Ed, the baseball playing monkey.
Favorite supporting roles.

Joe "Skip" Riggins
Archibald "Moonlight" Graham

Braves baseball scout Gus Lobel(Clint Eastwood), his movie daughter Mickey(Amy Adams) and Braves exec Pete Klien(John Goodman).
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
